Back on the Ice – Finally (and with Flat-Bottom V)
In looking back in this blog, I see, depressingly, that the last post about me and not T was January 24. And, yes, that was the last time I was on the ice at all – nearly two months. But today I finally got out to skate today – and with the Flat-bottom V...
T’s Game
So, again, I haven’t even been on the ice due to money and time. 🙁 Hopefully that’ll change starting next week and I can get back to at least skating and maybe some skate & shoots, if not the weekly clinic. T had a good warm up, for him, at least. He caught...
Second Game of the Weekend
It’s a two-game weekend for T’s team and both were league games. After yesterday’s win, I was curious to see if their level of play would stay consistent. Today’s game was a 3-3 tie at the end, but T’s team really dominated the first period. Even though...
Blowout!
T’s team had a massive blowout today, winning 7-1 in a league game. The team itself played awesomely and as a team. Remember a few games ago the coach was complaining because they’d only had five decent passes in a game – well, today they had five passes on a...
T’s Game
No updates for a couple weeks – here’s what happened: T was sick twice over the last two weeks, so he missed two practices and last weekend’s game. I was moving last weekend, so skipped last Monday’s clinic. Likely going to skip the clinic tomorrow, too –...
Monday Clinic
So … yeah … not my most impressive showing at the clinic … On the plus-side, I have a new stick. The old one was wood, no flex at all and cost $19.99. New one’s composite, has some flex which may help my shot and was $69 – which is still on the cheap side,...
T’s Second Game
This morning’s game for T was a league game, the first league game of the new season. Period 1 – Shift 1 It looks like he took what his coach and I told him about skating harder to heart, because he really did pick up the pace today. He skated hard on all his...
Junior Hockey
After T’s game today there was a Metropolitan Junior Hockey League game between the Florida Eels and the Space Coast Hurricanes. I saw the Eels play a couple weeks ago at the Kissimmee rink, but I couldn’t stay for the entire game. This afternoon I was able to...
T’s First Game of the New Season
So T had his first game of the new season this afternoon and we got to see whether the extra skating he’s done over the last month and a half has really improved his skills or not. It wasn’t a league game at the rink his team’s at – one thing I like about his...
Friday Skate & Shoot
A simple skate & shoot last night and I practiced some of the things I need to work on. First I worked on something I noticed at Monday’s clinic. From a standing start, I can start moving forward or backward pretty well, but at Monday’s clinic I was trying...
